Sorry to disappoint you, but that wasn't the Millennium Mini at all.
BMW/Rover are playing marketing games. That was a concept car introduced
at some shows a few years back, called the "ACV30." I like it a lot more
than the so-called "New Mini."
To see what they have done to the Mini, have a glance at:
http://www.automedia-online.de/e_spion.htm and scroll down to "Rover."
When you look at the photos, remember this car is a good deal bigger
than a real Mini. Those wheels are 16" diameter.
